ROCKEFELLER VOICES GRATITUDE AT HIS 91 ST BIRTHDAY

AGED FINANCIER PASSES QUIET DAY AT HOME Expresses Thanks That His Fellow-Men Have Been Kind to Him. EASES DAILY ROUTINE Rises Hour Later, Plays Golf, Writes Letters, Reads, Motors. Bu United Press POCANTICO HILLS. N. Y., JUy 7.—Secluded from all but a few relatives and servants. John D. Rockefeller observed his ninety-first birthday today with an expression of gratefulness to his fellow-men for the kindness they have shown him. There was little in the routine at the great manor house in the hills of Sleepy Hollow to set the day apart from any other, although U was expected the famous oil millionaire would cut his usual birthday cake at dinner tonight in the presence of the family and receive the personal congratulations of each, including 2-year-old Abby Rockefeller Milton, his greatgrandchild. The aged financier said he expected to grant no birthday interview, but through his public relations counsel. Ivy Lee, he issued a statement Monday night which said. "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have lad more kindness shown me during the last year from every part of the country than ever before in my life, and it is needless to state that I am unspeakably grateful. "I am in the best of health, surrounded by dear friends, and have naught but good will toward all.” For the first time in many years the monogenarian’s son, John D. Rockefeller Jr., will not be at the birthday dinner tonight. He is on a business trip in the west. The elder Rockefeller, who confidently expects to reach the age of 100. gradually is easing his daily routine and this year he has been arising an hour later in the morning—at 8. In most other respects, however, his schedule today was little changed from a year ago. After diessing, he listens to a digest of l ews from his secretary, dictates letters for half an hour goes out for a few holes of golf on his private course then comes in for a light luncheon and rest. In the afternoon he motors through the rolling hills made famous in the legend of Rip Van Winkle, and after dinre- spends the evening playing bis favorite game of "Numerica’ and listening to an organ plaving some of his favorite ooyhood songs. While Rockefeller was passing his birthday today, carpenters were it work reassembling hir birthplace for exhibition at Coney Island. The small house was moved oy its present owner. Mrs. Sarah S. Dennen. from its original site near Cortland. N Y.. for the purpose, despite vigorous legal efforts by the Rockefeller attorneys to regain possession of it.

ZIZILAMBRINO IS GIVEN RIGHT TO SUECAROL French Courts Accept Suit in Behalf of Son by First Marriage. Bu United Press PARIS. July B.—Mme. Zizi Lambrino, one of the three women prominent in the life of King Carol II of Rumania and his first legal wife, was given permission today to bring suit for 10,000,000 francs (about $400,000) against the Rumanian monarch in a Paris court. The courts decided to hear the suit despite a previous decision of incompetency to handle it. Zizi’s lawyer is a Corsican named Campinchi, said to be one of the brightest legal men in Paris. She intends to sue Carol for the legal right to call their son Mircah Hohenzollern, the name by which the boy entered school in France. Carol legally man-led Mme. Lambrino in a romantic affair during the war. The marriage was annulled, however, by the Bucharest courts to permit Carol to marry Helene, now queen of Rumania. Mme. Lambrino accepted the annulment “for state reasons,” but when Carol deserted Helene five years ago and accompanied yet another woman, Mme. Magda Lupescu, to Paris, Zizi sued. The French courts orignially decided they were incompetent to sit in the case because Carol was the son of a reigning house of Europe, hence, even now it was believed likely the suit would be definitely killed on appeal, since Carol is king, and covered with diplomatic immunity. Mme. Lambrino’s attorney has threatened during the proceedings to “expose Carol’s real story.” Carol recently flew to Bucharest and seized the throne and at present is in power in his home land. Report Plane Passengers Missing COPENHAGEN, July B.—Unconfirmed reports received here today said three persons were missing after the landing of a Berlin-to-Stockholm seaplane on the Baltic Monday.
